Samsung talking Android Pie beta this week, may launch same day
June 17, 2025
Samsunghas added theAndroid Piebeta program to its list of talking points at this week’s Samsung Developer Conference 2018 event. The new event on the calendar, spotted bySamMobilein the conference app, suggests the company may also launch the beta in the coming days.
Samsung said those attending the event would be able to “explore the new Galaxy UX” through the beta, but little else was mentioned about it. If the software is usable or presentable at the show, presumably it’s in a decent shape. We had expected Samsung to launch the beta sometime soon, so it seems likely it will use the event as a platform to do so.
The beta will likely be available for theGalaxy S9 and S9 Plus, giving select users a chance to test the new software before its official rollout (probably sometime in the new year). In the U.S., this may only apply to Snapdragon models with specific carriers.
We don’t know exactly what the new software (Samsung Experience 10) will deliver in terms of features, but we have encountered someleaked screenshotswhich have offered some clues as to the design changes (like an abundance of headers and bubbles).
Meanwhile, Samsung has also said it willshow off how its upcoming folding phone worksat the conference.
The Samsung Developer Conference 2018 begins tomorrow and runs until this Thursday. We’ll be bringing you all the announcements as they happen.
